writing your memoir prose or poem Do at least three drafts—The

grammar or being “RIGHT” – just express on paper the
feeling evoked by the subject. It can be a story of a memory with
the subject, and event with the subject or a heartfelt description
of the kind of person the subject is. Read over the second draft and
then put it aside for several hours-go back and rewrite—this

read it and get their opinion. Ask the readers- What did you like
best? What did you like least? Just listen –and use only the
comments you feel will help to make your piece better for YOU.—
